Fantasy sports bill sails through Alabama House in a narrow vote

The Alabama House has spoken: fantasy sports is a battle of wits and smarts.

Birmingham Business Journal reported that the Alabama House of Representatives has approved a bill that will legalize and regulate fantasy sports betting in the state in a close vote.

Voting 43-38, the House declared that Fantasy Sports is not a dolled-up digital gambling that deserves to be banned. Instead, they recognizes that fantasy sport is a game of skills deserved to be played in the state.

There are at least three bills that have been introduced in Alabama including HB354 or Fantasy Sports Act.
